Playing dress up



The team went to a 180 year-old restaurant for Dan's birthday this week. The owner was very hospitable and make individual laminated membership cards for each of us with our Chinese name. My Chinese name is Fu Ming Ming. Fu (the surname, for Fullmer...) and Ming Ming (well...because I like the Ming dynasty, and Ming just once isn't enough.) The characters for it mean "Happy or Good Luck" and "Bright Light". They had some traditional Chinese wedding garb, and I jumped at the chance to wear this gorgeous head piece. Then things got weird and they made Dan wear the groom costume and had us drink water out of tea cups with our elbows locked and everything...everyone laughed a lot.
